Ingredients
- 2 Carrots, peeled, sliced into 5mm (0.2 in) rounds
- 300 g (10½ oz) Broccoli, cut into small florets
- 150 g (5¼ oz) Green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp Butter, optional
- Salt, to taste
You’ll need: Saucepan with steamer basket
Method
Bring 2cm (0.8 in) of water to the boil in a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket (or a colander that sits over the pot with a lid).
Add the carrots, cover and steam for 3 minutes.
Add the broccoli and green beans on top, cover and steam for 4–5 minutes, until a knife slides in easily but the colour is still bright.
Tip into a serving bowl, toss through the butter, if using, and season with salt.
Storage
Fridge up to 2 days. Reheat until piping hot.
